EEG-Based Empathic Safe Cobot

An empathic collaborative robot (cobot) was realized through the transmission of fear from a human agent to agent. Such empathy induced an electroencephalographic (EEG) sensor worn by agent, thus realizing safe brain-computer interface (BCI). The cobot reacts and in turn transmits it forming social circle safety. A first randomized, controlled experiment involved two groups 50 healthy subjects (100 total subjects) measure EEG signal presence or absence frightening event. second on different exposed comfortable uncomfortable movements while subjects’ acquired. result that spike subject’s observed movement. questionnaires were distributed subjects, confirmed results measurement. In laboratory setting, all experiments found be statistically significant. experiment, peak measured just after activating event greater than resting (p < 10?3). movement under conditions conclusion, within isolated constrained experimental environment, satisfactory.
